Dear Vintage & Military watch enthusiast,

I'm proud to offer this watch for sale, it's been months in the making, and today I can finally say it's done.
My homage to the infamous "The Shadow" - A unique factory blacked-out Rolex Submariner 5513 "MilSub" made in 1975 for the South African Special Forces fighting Soviets and Cubans in Angola.
The very watch that started the black Rolex craze!

No one ever saw the actual caseback of one of these, replaced during service(s) most likely...
So I thought one of the operatives could have very well have the Buffalo Battalion's / Battalion 23 (Or also nicknamed "the Terrible Ones") insignia engraved on the caseback.
"Proelio Procusi" means "Forged in Battle" in English.
